I can see how that might be a problem if you are adding loads of Nitrous (which I'm guessing Daz may have rathe substantial NOS jets by the size of the bottle in the back of his car), I'm only planning a fairly low shot just to give a power boost on straights, probably with jets rated at 25-30bhp. I know someone who ran NOS on a Zetec with Emerald wasted spark quite successfully with 50bhp jets fitted. <br>
<br>
But i might have the flog the Nitrous kit anyway to pay for other parts of the car<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> That'll be a last resort.<br>
<br>
My plan was to take a week off in July to work on the car but with the Mrs up the duff again I have to save my holidays to help out with babies.<br>
<br>
The original target was to get the car running for May, at this rate it'll be more like May 2007!<br>
